Here is a cool and compact 4x5 camera with tilt, rise/fall, shift movements. Also has rotating back. It is in good operating condition and good cosmetic condition. B&L Tessar 1C 139mm F4.5 is in very good shape and Rapax shutter works well. Weighs about 5 lbs. with lens.

I have removed the rear door/hood because it needs repair and restoring, but will include it. Also, the rangefinder is dim, so haven't used it. Focusing action is smooth. Bellows are in good shape and extension can focus to 1:1. I will include 3 film holders.

$185 plus postage, paypal.

I have one of those 139mm Tessar 1C lenses in barrel, a really nice lens and better IMO than the 127 Tessar types you often find on press cameras.
